Taylor and Payne are afraid their deficiency bill will not be passed, and that their dam won't be built.

Payne and Taylor own all the land around the creek. They purchased the land to build a dam.... an event that required a bill to be passed in government. Their plan is then to sell the land back to the government at a huge profit to themselves.
